Perv EMT copped a feel: cops

A perverted city EMT groped an injured woman while rushing her to a Staten Island hospital — and later called and texted the victim to set up a date, police sources said yesterday.

David Taranto, 31, responded in an FDNY ambulance to a car accident that involved the 39-year-old victim at West Cedarview Avenue and Kensico Street in Richmondtown at around 3 p.m. May 16, the sources said.

On the way to Staten Island University Hospital North, Taranto picked up a stethoscope to check her heart rate, and then allegedly grabbed her breast under her clothes, the sources said.

The creep told her that she had an “amazing body,” and waited with her for three hours at the hospital, the sources said.

“She seemed horrified by it,” said one law-enforcement source.

Taranto allegedly also phoned and texted the victim to invite her to his house.

The horrified woman called police, who arrested Taranto on Monday and charged him with sexual abuse.

He was released on $1,000 bail and has been suspended by the FDNY without pay.
